Merry Christmas from China!

This definitely goes down I the records as the most unique Christmas ever. We had a wonderful day in China, it was warm here and we actually visited the Botinacal Gardens in the AM along with some shopping on the way home. Definitely not like I would usually spend Christmas. Later in the afternoon, we did have the traditional reading of the Christmas story and Miles opened his present from Santa. Althought Miles had no idea what we were reading, next year he will. I knew my kids were reading the Christmas story back home too and that made it even more special. My heart is overflowing today with a mess of emotions. I am so happy , blessed and thankful to be here at this time with our precious child, but at the same time my heart is literally stretched across two continents as I miss my kiddos back home and think about them celebrating without us. But really when I think about it, there is no better time to be bringing Miles home than during the season in which we celebrate what it is all about. So thankful we have a reason to celebrate!!
